This is also how mempoolfullrbf got in. I had support from the author and some other core devs for a PR to remove it before release, but they said that because it was already scheduled for release in some weeks, it was me trying to change consensus. Since when his Core release schedule a method of consensus? The custom is that a clearly controversial change that disrupts the user space would at least be postponed, but no rational argument would be accepted.
Self-custodial means inside the main chain. Lightning uses actual Bitcoin UTXOs and is currently the ONLY layer that does this in a way where the user can enforce the rules and doesnt need to trust if they do. Everything else is mostly bullshit, trusted stuff.
First, "ten thousand sats", at least until people are ready to do the sensible thing and just call them bitcoin too. It's not like "sats" actually has any useful purpose.
No, L-BTC is a shitcoin that the Liquid Federation promises to redeem for BTC.
This may still solve some problems for some people, but it doesn't scale Bitcoin really.
The ultimate risk is that if Liquid becomes popular, the government will shut it down.
Synonym is technically majority-owned by Tether. Excluding US citizens is a strategic choice because of the experience of US Bitfinex team being used as jurisdictional leverage in the past, I believe. Still hope to work with you someday!
LDK is not related to Blockstream in any way.
It is indeed a serious project, albeit a WIP.
All LDK wallets are beta stage at best, and I'm pretty sure they all warn their users as much.
I randomly clicked a link in Twitter to this post and saw my handle.
Generally, I do think Bitcoin culture needs to evolve and the problem is probably greed-based. People just wanna hear things and cheerlead ideas that might make them rich. Other than that, most nuance is lost.
People can handle self-custody, and self-custody can be a good experience.
Our wallet Bitkit it getting really close to being ready to add people. The beta version we will release this week is the first time the LN node inside is working mostly reliably. We're excited to keep innovating on the UX.
We're also collaborating with several teams to make LSPs interoperable and preparing to utilize all the latest research to make our "zero lightning experience" where users don;t need to know whether they are using LN or not.
It'll take time, but we'll get there!
And yes, if you arent spending BTC, you're bearish! Once youre all-in, the urge to increase merchant adoption begins.
Sorry for the rant, and thanks for thinking critically about Bitcoin. It's important we all do our part to get this right.
I removed your ability to post because you were repeatedly causing noise and stress. I have very literal tolerance for noise, so I fixed it.
I don't want my team, or myself, distracted with your need for attention. Please take some responsibility for your side of this outcome.
We have no plans for "shitcoins" and will never include any blockchain than Bitcoin in any of our products.
We do have interest in giving users ways to express credit use cases, like gift cards, and, gasp, stablecoins, but our interest is to show that you do not need shitcoins to do this, and that better credit systems can be used instead.
There is Bitcoin, and everything else is credit. This is a fact. We simply believe credit will always be part of a productive economy and want to show the best ways to express it, including Web-of-Trust systems that may empower people to make better, more relevant, choices on whom to trust when they do trust.
You've excluded all of my attempts to reason with you and explain things from the screenshot, but that's okay because the real message here is that you are not a user I am worried about losing.
You just wanted to complain and that is of limited usefulness to us. If you think you can do better, please do. I can only tolerate your noise for so long, and you found that limit.
Thank you for your testing feedback, and for your consideration, it will be considered appropriately.
Otherwise, I'd recommend some methods of stress relief, including, but not limited to, crying harder.
